You'd be better served to get the mechanical pump rebuilt. First of all, they are longer-lived than the 6-volt electrics and if you're observant, do give advance warning of pending failure; and secondly you'll want the vacuum booster portion of the mechanical pump working for the benefit of the windshield wipers.

But should you go electric and leave the mechanical pump in place, don't route the gas lines thru it or you'll just be pumping gasoline into the crankcase.
